We all have to start somewhere...I only know how to fly a paper plane
I have no team I hope they stop fighting but I am not picking a side hereWhat Islamic perspective is this? Are we going to ignore the lynching and shelling of Russian speaking people in East Ukraine? The aggressors are Ukraine and Russia is stopping the aggression. Islam promotes multi polarity where one power checks another, otherwise there would be corruption in the land (Quran 2:251), Islam also promotes the stopping of injustice by the hands which is what Russia has done for the Eastern Ukrainians.
Are you a Muslim? you have done research on these topics.
That is the problem with Indians, they will die in a foreign land but don't want to go back to the home country....someone should explain to them it's not secured .... All Pakistani students already left... our embassy did a remarkable job.Sad development...

Both countries have committed atrocities in past and present
Call Mr. Leon, he must be on the border of Ukraine and Russia...... he should rescue his brothers in the hood ...Lovely liberal angels . Butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths.
“Ukrainian First” is a policy that exists be it the mainstream media won’t talk about it, because it doesn’t suit the “aww” “freedom fries” narrative.
Don’t worry sir, I’ve got you covered too:I only know how to fly a paper plane
Yeah you really went off on a tangent there. You said the first cosmopolitan empire was Islam and I proved to you that you were wrong. Now you're moving the goalposts. If Zoroastrianism was state religion, and Persians and Medes were first class citizens compared to the rest, then I would argue the Persian Empire were also ideological as well. Rome was also more so ideological than the Persians, and Rome is the backbone of Western ideology.Lets just agree to disagree.
Achamenid Empire was multiethnic and broadly tolerant to different faiths, although Zoroastrianism was the official state religion. But Achamenid empire was a ethno-cultural-linguistic empire. It was not a IDEOLOGICAL empire like Islam.
The Caliphate became decentralized after Abbasid revolution.
The caliphate was a PURELY IDEOLOGICAL empire, open for anyone to become muslim and accepted as fullworthy citizen simply on observing the Shahada. That means anyone regardless of skin color, ethnicity and culture could become a muslim, without abandonding the aforementioned identities. Even non-muslims could become a citizen, but they were characterized as dhimmies, which simply means protected. They were extempted from military service (which was mandatory in theory for every male muslim) but had to pay a poll tax.
Concerning the modern western liberal democracy, there is a need for defining what that really means. Because i imagine that you are mixing the post-modernism ideology with the term liberalism. Those two terms had nothing to do with eachother until recent 60 years or so. Classical liberalism has very much in common with Islam. In fact the western world didnt become postmodernist and LGBT oriented until recently, wich is mere a blink in its almost 1000 year long history.
What i am trying to explain to you is that its very hard for modern western world to lay out what is its own real identity. What makes western world western? Until recently it was no question, you had to be some form of christian and white. Today its usually respect for democracy and atleast some form of post-modernism. That is also the reason many westerners feel alianated when they meet a person of color, even though the colored person may be educated,tolerant towards sexual freedom and respecte democracy. Historically you had to be caucasian white and christian or else your life could be in danger. That was never the case in any islamic society. The major red line in islamic society was always blasphemy, if you could steer away from PUBLIC blasphemy, you were accepted as a islamicate citizen.
I could go on and on as this is a field of major interest to me. As much that i would say it has changed my life and world outlook forever.
This is my last but long post(excuse me) on this topic, which tbh is totally offtopic
Speaking of Leon:Call Mr. Leon, he must be on the border of Ukraine and Russia...... he should rescue his brothers in the hood ...
This is height of irresponsibility. You dont ask civilians to fight against modern war machine with molotov cocktails.. So the convoy opened fire, seems like 30mm HE or so, because even the trees got cut down like nothing. Not even talking about the men, so i will not post the video.
Lol I saw a video of Ukrainians with Molotov cocktail burning their own Osa SAM.This is height of irresponsibility. You dont ask civilians to fight against modern war machine with molotov cocktails.
Molotov cocktails work against hooligans or riot police but barely scratches a well armed Military force.
